A 5-foot-10 guard who already has committed to play for the NCAA Division I Green Bay Phoenix — who went 31-2 this season and were ranked No. 10 in the nation headed into the NCAA Tournament — Kirkpatrick led the Firebirds to their most regular-season victories (15) in program history. Her ability to drain three-pointers or drive to the bucket made her difficult to stop as FSHS finished the season one win away from state.

Coach of the year

Cliff McCullough, Ottawa

Under McCullough’s direction, the Cyclones went unscathed (12-0) in the Frontier League, won the Goodland Topside Tipoff championship, took second at the Basehor-Linwood Invitational and secured a 4A sub-state title on their way to their third consecutive state-tournament berth. Ottawa defeated Wellington and Bonner Springs at state to take third place and finish the season 23-3.
